The Daily Dispatch: September 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], Fremont and his proclamation. (search)
Fremont and his proclamation. The Louisville Courier, of the 2d instant, has a long and able article on the progress of despotism in Missouri, in which it thus deals with Fremont and his proclamation: Major General Fremont, known to the country principally by his insubordination and peculations in California during the Mexican war, and as the representative of the idea of the abolition of those "twin relics of barbarism, slavery and polygamy," in the Presidential canvass of '56, has ihat must overtake him, or a trembling beggar for mercy from those he would have mercilessly betrayed, he will call in vain on the mountains to fall on and hide from a just and righteous retribution from which he cannot escape. The people of Missouri will triumph. As sure as God liveth they will drive the invaders from their soil, and visit judgment on the heads of their oppressors. Freemen cannot be conquered. It will not be long until free government is restored in our sister State.--So

o the amount, if no storms or other unforeseen disasters occur to injure the crop, it will doubtless reach over 400,000 hhds. The crop is generally good through all the sugar-growing parishes. Under favorable circumstances, it may come up to 500,000 hhds. But half that amount this year would yield more profit to the planter than he could realize from a full crop. The West in prosperous times consumes 300,000 hhds. of Louisiana sugar. The blockade has cut off this market. Portions of Missouri and Kentucky will obtain a small amount, but the blockaded States will be the principal consumers. Texas can get no Louisiana sugar, except those portions that get their supplies through the Red River navigation. But she will consume her own crop, which, fortunately for her, is made in that part of the State whose communication with New Orleans is cut off by the blockade. Fortunately for the sugar planter, by means of railroads and navigable streams the sugar crop can be conveniently

e thing. They both designed to make the war an anti-slavery war, and such it is to all intents and purposes. It will be observed that Fremont proposes to liberate only such slaves as belong to rebels. But, besides that the slaveholders of Missouri are nearly all "rebels" in this sense of the term, by the very act of setting free so large a body of negroes, he renders that species of property worthless to all other owners. If the negroes belonging to the rebels be all set free, it will beman will claim to belong to some Secessionist, He will present himself to the Federal officers, all abollitionists at heart, and he will always attain his object.--Fremond's proclamation, therefore, is a proclamation of freedom to every slave in Missouri. It were vain to inquire what right, under the Constitution of the old United States, any general of division can have to abolish an institution solemnly recognized by it. Lincoln and his myrmidons have utterly destroyed that Constitution. Th

arshal in St. Louis, Col. Justus McKinstry who, we observe, has been lately promoted to a Brigadier Generalship, is, if possible, a greater poltroon than Fremont. When the late Gen. Weightman who fell gallantly fighting at the recent battle in Missouri, was a young Cadet at West Point, a rencontre occurred between him and a big bully of a senior class, this same McKinstry in which the latter received a most humiliating lesson, one of the scars of which on his face, he is likely to carry to hisago, a Kentucky gentleman, who met McKinstry in the West, was informed by this doughty warrior that he received the scar in the Mexican war! This incident sufficiently illustrates the character of the man. The truth is, he never performed a single action in the Mexican war which was chronicled by the press, except eating a dinner which Santa Anna left behind in his carriage on one of his sudden escapes. Such are the men who are now playing the despots over the gallant people of Missouri!

of the conspirators in the Cotton States, have been permitted to enjoy, will hereafter be seriously disturbed. Gen. Butler's expedition is not the only one that will be launched. There is nothing to prevent the embarkation of ten thousand men at Baltimore any day, to strike a blow somewhere on the Southern coast. It would not surprise us to learn that Gen. McClellan, having securely fortified Washington, had made a forward movement by way of Charleston, Savannah or New Orleans. Now, it may be that all this is a part of a concerted plan to endeavor to induce us to withdraw troops from Viginia and Missouri, to defend the Southern coast. On the other hand, there may be some such purpose entertained as is here foreshadowed, and expeditious, similar to Butler's late expedition into North Carolina, may be fitting out for a more Southern destination. In either event, it can do no harm to be prepared. Although it may be a feint, it becomes us to prepare ourselves at every point.

vented Lyon's command, through fear, from moving forward, and intimidated a large force of infantry, which never did get on the field. These facts will never be fully known, unless the enemy make a fair report and true statement of facts. I hope they may do so. "As soon as the cavalry under me (I was acting as Brigadier General) left the rear of the enemy, they retreated from the field. I moved my command around, and received orders from General McCulloch to take a position on a commanding ridge. I there learned that Siegel, with two pieces of cannon and two or three thousand Dutch, had gone down the road. I dispatched two of my Texas companies and one Missouri company after him. They captured his regimental flag and cannon, and killed and captured nearly all of his men. Siegel got into Springfield with two men only. Myself and command were ordered in pursuit of the enemy, but unfortunately ordered in the wrong direction. We remained in the saddle from sunrise to sunset.

in Chicago: "I should like to see you very much, but I suppose it will be some time before we will see each other, as you have made up your mind to take your chances with the South. I know I should do the same if I was there. One thing is sure, and that is that I shall never fight against the South. I understand they are going to impress men into service, and if it should be my luck to be one of them, you may look for me down there; for, before I would fight in this abolition army, I would be shot. There was a regiment of men left here last night for Missouri. They were the most inferior men I ever saw. There is a great reaction going on here, since men begin to look at things coolly. Six weeks ago we did not dare say a word against the war, but since they are beginning to make it an Abolition war, we talk and say just what we like. It has been very difficult to get volunteers, and it would be nearly impossible to get them at all, if they could get anything else to do."

ent of the Confederate States of America neither intends nor desires to disturb the neutrality of Kentucky. The assemblage of troops in Tennessee, to which you refer, had no other object than to repel the lawless invasion of that state by the forces of the United States, should their Government attempt to approach it through Kentucky without respect for its position of neutrality. That such apprehensions were not groundless, has been proved by the course of that Government in Maryland and Missouri, and more recently in Kentucky itself, in which, as you inform me, "a military force has been enlisted and quartered by the United States authorities. " The Government of the Confederate States has not only respected most scrupulously the neutrality of Kentucky, but has continued to maintain the friendly relations of trade and intercourse which it has suspended with the people of the United States generally. In view of the history of the past, it can scarcely be necessary to assur

has been thus effectually checkmated by the vigilance and energy of our Generals. We hope to see our cause pressed with equal energy in other quarters. The Memphis Appeal, of the 8th inst., says: General Pillow, having returned from Missouri, took charge of the Confederate forces at Union City, and being joined by a portion of his command from Missouri, on yesterday advanced upon Columbus, Ky., which place he occupied without resistance. The Federal troops had taken their stand oppMissouri, on yesterday advanced upon Columbus, Ky., which place he occupied without resistance. The Federal troops had taken their stand opposite, on the west bank of the river, a few days since, apparently with the design of fortifying themselves there; but are understood to have moved higher up in the direction of Norfolk, Missouri. The number of troops under Gen. Pillow we, of course, do not deem it prudent to mention; but the mere fact of his advance we think proper to publish now, instead of copying the same intelligence from the Cincinnati or St. Louis papers, which we may receive on to- morrow.
